[PATCH v1 1/6] fs/readdir: Fix filldir() and filldir64() use of user_access_begin()

Some architectures grand full access to userspace regardless of the
address/len passed to user_access_begin(), but other architectures
only grand access to the requested area.

For exemple, on 32 bits powerpc (book3s/32), access is granted by
segments of 256 Mbytes.

Modify filldir() and filldir64() to request the real area they need
to get access to.

Fixes: 9f79b78ef744 ("Convert filldir[64]() from __put_user() to unsafe_put_user()")
